Christmas in Connecticut (1945) – this is the second Barbara Stanwyck holiday selection of mine. What else can I say, it is a cute romantic romp!

‘Tis the Season! Christmas Pix, Vol. 7

It’s a Wonderful Life (1947)

What can be said about this film that has not already been said? More than merely a Christmas movie, it is a testament to importance of the communities we spend our lives building; it is about love, family, friendship and how our lives impact those around us, often without our knowledge of the extent to which this is the case. Although I have not seen the film in years (kind of on purpose) I look forward to enjoying it when time permits me to watch it.

‘Tis the Season! Christmas Pix, Volume 6

Scrooge: A Christmas Carol; personally I prefer this version of the Charles Dickens tale above all other ones. From what I recall of the source material this film stays very true to the source material. And its running time (approximately 80 minutes) is in accordance with the length of the source material (it’s a novella).
